Chocolate Cherry Shortbread Cookies

Step 1

In a mixer, cream the butter and the sugar. In a bowl sift together the flour and the salt.

Step 2

Mix the dry ingredients into the butter and sugar mixture until it comes together. Mix in the maraschino cherries, white chocolate and dark chocolate chips.

Step 3

Using a spatula, scoop the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, and form into a 2 inch diameter log. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and freeze for 40 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 325°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat (silicone baking sheet). Unwrap the cookie dough log, and using a very sharp knife, cut into 1/4-inch slices, and arrange on the baking sheets. This makes 24 cookies.

Step 5

Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool slightly and move to a cooling rack.
